So which one of These Geniuses is you, grasshopper?

The Eagles' secondary is not Carolina's. It is better. It is deeper. And it is tougher to solve.

In fact, since Fitzgerald put up two touchdowns on Philadelphia on Thanksgiving, no wide receiver has caught a touchdown pass on the Eagles in six games, and only one receiver, period (New York Giants tight end Darcy Johnson), managed to beat them for a scoring catch.

This is why I pick Philly. Better defense than what Arizona has seen so far in the playoffs, and that team has been playing outstanding football going into this game. Arizona has been too, but they are outmatched. Still, I expect a close game, and I think Warner/Fitz will manage to make enough plays to keep the Cardinals in it. Boldin's health could be a big factor. He's supposed to play, but we'll have to wait and see how effective he'll be.

Hmmm. If only the Cardinals could get their hands on this "Fitzgerald" guy. That would really help them.

I heard an intersting fact on the Radio today ...

You have to go back to 2002 to find a QB who has played the Eagles defense more than once in a a season an has improved. Everytime for the last 6 years the QB have always gotten worse each time they faced Johnson's defence.

Warners stats for the 1st time they played this year

Arizona  	Comp  	Att  	Yds  	Pct  	Y/A  	Sack  	YdsL  	TD  	Int  	Rating 
 K. Warner 	21 	39 	235 	53.8 	6.0 	0 	0 	3 	3 	65.7

if does worse than that he'll look like Jake Delhomme.

I predict a Baltimore - Philly Superbowl.

I gotta tell ya...it's really cool to drive around in Baltimore of late. Purple everywhere. Shades of 2000 again.

I have to figure if the Steelers play the Ravens on the field, the Ravens will win. If they play the way they've been playing, who knows, because if it goes the wrong way, they'll just send it upstairs and get it reversed. Last-minute TD grab in Baltimore a little outside the goal line? Send it upstairs, and poof! A magic six points! Chargers receiver pulls a perfect Lynn Swann impersonation for a big gain? Send it upstairs, and poof! No more catch! I suspect the Steelers will simply film their team playing, send it to the officials, and be declared the winners of the game had they shown up...

McNabb threw four touchdown passes, Brian Westbrook tied a team record with four scores and the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Arizona Cardinals 48-20 on Thursday night.

Or not...
